"The transfer has enabled me to buy two cows, for previously I had none. Through them, I will be getting milk for my family and I will no longer be buying which is expensive for me. This is the biggest difference so far in my daily life since I am now able to save some money which I would otherwise use in buying milk."

"The message notifying me arrived when I was washing my household bedding in a river. This meant that I could finally carry out my home improvement. I was happy and immediately sent my husband to withdraw the cash. I could not go because I had soaked my blankets and had to be clean and hang them to dry for the night."

"I received the transfer notification from GiveDirectly around 6 o'clock in the morning as I was attending to my irrigation project which I water my plants daily. On checking to confirm the sender, I could not hold my happiness for the message informed me that I had received the first transfer that I had anxiously been waiting for. This money gave me hope that I would soon boost my project by purchasing a power generator to pump water instead of using buckets."

"I expect to buy a cow so this will, therefore, produce enough milk for the family and I will thus save the money I would have otherwise used to buy milk."

"In the next six months, I expect to save all my transfers and spend them on purchasing some bags of cement which I will use to renovate my house. Its walls have become very weak. The earlier I renovate it, the stronger it will be to provide me with better habitation for a longer period of time. As a result, I anticipate a positive change in my life since I will not be worried about raising some money to build a new house."

"In the next six months, I expect to expand the business so that I can cover a larger market and serve more clients. This will help me earn more profit. I also would expect to take my children to a very good school so that they can get a `quality education."

"I spend my most recent transfer to pay school fees for my sister who was joining secondary school. This is because my mother had no money to pay since her contract ended in the flower farm where she was working. I also used part of my transfers to pay my house rent since I had not paid and the landlord had come for the money. I give out the remaining amount as church offering to thank God for the blessing in my life."

"I saw the message notification in the morning as I was on my farm weeding my crops. I checked to confirm who the sender was, only to realise that it was the very message that I have been eagerly waiting for. I was filled with happiness instantly as I read through that I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly."

"I received the notification early in the morning as I was preparing myself for the day's activities. On checking to confirm, it was from GiveDirectly informing me that I had received my first transfer. I was filled with happiness and it was just a miracle to me for I never expected to receive such an amount of money in my life."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have bought a cow using the money I will be given from merry go round group. With this, I will be assured that my family will not be buying milk on a daily basis after some few years. My maize will also be doing well on my farm and this will always gladden my heart."
